Many of the most critical issues for the coming century The journal is composed of the following specialty depend on a deeper understanding of the inherently sections: Atmospheric Science complex Earth system. Earth Science investigates not only Biogeoscience Earth and Planetary Materials the fundamental questions of – but also the relationships Geomagnetism and Paleomagnetism between – the hydrosphere, atmosphere, cryosphere, Hydrosphere biosphere, and solid Earth. It spans time and length scales, Interdisciplinary Climate Studies from instantaneous changes in crystal lattices to tectonic Marine Biogeochemistry Microbiological Chemistry processes across millions of years. Frontiers in Earth and Geomicrobiology Paleontology Science embraces and encourages the interdisciplinary Petrology Quaternary Science, nature of the field, and promotes co-operation between Geomorphology and Paleoenvironment researchers from fields spanning physics to marine Structural Geology and Tectonics science to chemistry, and integrating methods from Terrestrial Microbiology Volcanology remote sensing to field work to microscopy. As a specialty section under Chief Editor, Prof Steven L. Forman, Quaternary Science, Geomorphology and Paleoenvironment promotes broad-based interdisciplinary research related to Earth systems in the past ca. 2.6 million years. Research in these fields focuses on understanding, quantifying and modeling earth surface processes and evaluating changes in past environments and climate from associated sedimentary, ice; and biogenic and non- biogenic carbonate archives.

Not only is this quadrennial meeting an excellent opportunity to get really up-to-date on recent Quaternary research developments and to catch up – both scientifically and socially – with Quaternarists from across the world, it also presents prospects for networking and career building. This may take the form of establishing new scientific collaborations and partnerships, but also to learn of new employment possibilities and to meet with potential new supervisors. The latter is particularly relevant for early and mid-career researchers who have yet to attain a permanent position in research. On this note, then, it is timely that we include a number of reports relevant to career building in this issue. Particularly thematic is Patrick Moss and Lydia Mackenzie’s piece discussing how to make the most of international conferences – and for many of our student and early postdoc members, INQUA will probably be among their first major international meetings. Helen Bostock and Claire Krause introduce ideas for a mentor scheme under the AQUA banner in this news section, and Claire also describes her experiences in learning about the relevance of her research to policy makers at the annual Science meets Parliament event in Canberra. Participation in research networks is another important way for young researchers to establish themselves in their scientific careers. In this issue, Drew Lorrey updates us on recent activities within the SHAPE initiative. We also publish two white papers by the scientific community in this issue, introduced to us by our Treasurer, Steven Phipps. The first discusses the critical role of palaeoclimate research in dealing with climate change in the future, and the kind of support and investment which is required by governing bodies to facilitate continued research in this field. The second white paper argues for continued investment in tropical zone palaeoclimate research, particularly in order to better understand the Indo-Pacific climate modes such as the El Nino-Southern Oscillation and Indian Ocean Dipole, which have a significant influence on global temperature and precipitation regimes – even within timeframes typical of electoral terms. Collective efforts such as these are particularly important for gaining the attention of policy makers and governments who control research funding. An important recent case in point is the last-minute response of the Australian government to continue funding for the National Collaborative Research and Infrastructure Strategy, under pressure from the National Research Alliance. Although this reprieve is presently only valid for 12 months, it nevertheless places some confidence in the influence of the collective scientific community on critical governmental decisions such as these. We look forward to catching up with you in Nagoya! Yours Quaternarily, Kat Fitzsimmons and Pia Atahan Editors 4 32 | 1 | PRESIDENT’S PEN PRESIDENT’S PEN I hope you are all limbering up for the upcoming Stephen Phipps attended the inaugural Science meets Quaternary Olympics – the XIX INQUA congress in Policymakers event.

  • Southwest Pacific Ocean Response to a Warming World

Marr,1,2 Lionel Carter,2 Helen C. Bostock,3 Annette Bolton,4 and Euan Smith 1 Received 13 June 2012; revised 3 April 2013; accepted 23 May 2013; published 28 June 2013. [1] In situ measurements of Mg/Ca, Zn/Ca, Mn/Ca, and Ba/Ca in Globigerinoides bulloides and Globigerina ruber from southwest Pacific core top sites and plankton tow are reported and their potential as paleoproxies is explored. The modern samples cover 20 of latitude from 34Sto54S, 7–19C water temperature, and variable influence of subantarctic (SAW) and subtropical (STW) surface waters. Trace element signatures recorded in core top and plankton tow planktic foraminifera are examined in the context of the chemistry and nutrient profiles of their modern water masses. Our observations suggest that Zn/Ca and Mn/Ca may have the potential to trace SAW and STW. Intraspecies and interspecies offsets identified by in situ measurements of Mg/Ca and Zn/Ca indicate that these ratios may also record changes in thermal and nutrient stratification in the upper ocean. We apply these potential proxies to fossilized foraminifera from the high-resolution core MD97 2121. At the Last Glacial Maximum, surface water Mg/Ca temperature estimates indicate that temperatures were approximately 6–7C lower than those of the present, accompanied by low levels of Mn/Ca and Zn/Ca and minimal thermal and nutrient stratification.

  • October 24 – 26, 2018
    October 24 – 26, 2018 VANCOUVER, BC, CANADA INTRODUCTION Southern Ocean sea ice plays important roles within the Earth system, affecting nutrient cycling, ocean productivity, air-sea gas exchange, deep-water formation, and ocean heat transport. As Southern Ocean sea ice cover is changing, it is important for our climate models to accurately simulate sea ice and its effects on the climate system. However, climate models currently produce large differences in their scenarios and these differences have profound implications regarding the ability to project future responses to sea ice change. Understanding past sea ice conditions could help refine the models and alleviate some of these challenges, however; our current understanding of past sea ice conditions is limited to just a few locations.

  • Sunday, May 14, 2017 Dear Helen Bostock, Editor SHAPE
    Sunday, May 14, 2017 Dear Helen Bostock, Editor SHAPE special issue We have incorporated changes in the manuscript following the reviewer’s suggestions and criticisms, namely: Reviewer #1: We were unable to incorporate the external errors on the 10Be moraine ages because not all of the original papers include that information. We modified the sentence in the following manner: stabilization and deposition of the Lago Columna and Lago Posada moraines before 17,600±900 yr BP Reviewer #2: “the data presented in the result section do not provide with indisputable evidence to sustain the vegetation/climate trends inferred in the final part of the text, at least not in such emphatic manner”… “there isn’t in my opinion robust evidence for sustain the presence of Nothofagus trees around the site before that time. This is not considered or discussed at all in the manuscript and it should be” Response: We included a sentence to address this issue: “We note that the Nothofagus parkland on the western end of Valle Chacabuco and the Lago Cochrane basin must have approached the vicinity of Lago Edita at 16,800 yr BP, judging from the appearance of Misodendrum at that age (Figures 4, 6) under relatively constant mean Nothofagus abundances” Reviewer #2: 1 “A similar high-sounding climate interpretation is made from the pollen trends observed after 13 ka, when the percentages of hygrophilous trees are heavily reduced and Nothofagus increases rapidly. At first, these changes can be interpreted as a drop in moisture. Yet, how can we know that the decrease in the hygrophilous trees is not an artifact of the relative increment of Nothofagus if not pollen influx data is supplied? I note that the abundance of the hygrophilous trees after 11 ka is actually not lower than the period 19-13 ka, with the latter being interpreted as a relative wet period.
